FightforFionn

This is Fionn Barry,
Fionn was born in August 2014 but unfortunately Fionn is unable to do many of the things an average toddler can do.  Fionn is as yet unable to walk, but thanks to your donations and continuous intensive private physio he now shows us that one day it may be possible for him to walk with a frame!, he cannot talk yet but is starting  to babble and he has a visual problem called cortical visual impairment.  Fionn used to take his liquid nutrition in through a tube attached to his tummy called a Mic-key button and a feed pump but thanks to the regular physio Fionn has strengthened his neck muscles and can now EAT PUREED FOOD BY THE MOUTH! an AMAZING blessing and fantastic progress. 
Fionn has spent most of his first 3 years in hospital. He was diagnosed at 6 months with infantile spasms which has evolved into a seriously debilitating and LIFE LIMITING illness and needs 24 hour care. Fionn needs numerous intensive treatments and therapies along with specialised equipment, all of which are quite costly, but essential to improve his quality of life.  Fionn’s home was specially adapted and extended as it is essential for Fionn to be able to have access to the main rooms in his home and to be cared for in a safe and comfortable environment, this extension was done with help from donations and a considerable loan.   We want Fionn to be the best he can possibly be and to give him the utmost chance for him to one day achieve his milestones. 
We pray that with these therapies and having a home more suitable for his complex needs the need to return to hospital so frequently will be reduced, thus keeping Fionn away from lots of possible infections as well as making him physically/medically well enough to achieve his milestones. 
We believe this little boy needs the chance to prove the doctors wrong, and constant long stays in hospital are making it hard for Fionn to progress developmentally. 
We have recently funded many pieces  of vital equipment with the help of our fundraising campaign and going forward will need a wheelchair accessible vehicle, ceiling track hoist and a hi/low bath these items cost a lot of money as well as the continued therapies. 
We are eternally grateful for the continued support from everyone. 
Fionn Barry is the strongest, most determined little person in the world, if anyone can do it, Fionn can.
